Hark! There be arcs

alt text


Great news, darlings, I have some arcs of A Lady for All Seasons to give away! Three of them, in fact.

And one lucky winner will get an additional a lil treat. It’s no secret I’m a fan of Cat Sebastian. If Cat has no readers, I am dead. So I was chuffed to get an arc of her latest novel, Star Shipped.

My hand holding up the arc. The cover art is not final and shows an illustrated movie clapper.

Cat truly cannot be caught when it comes to character work. Every turn this book takes is quieter and subtler than you would expect for a story that’s ostensibly rife with tropes. The tropes are there, don’t get me wrong, but there’s a delightful subversion of them that I appreciate. I would describe it as a meditation on loneliness, mental health, and public/private personas.

So two people will get an arc of LADY and one will get both LADY and STAR SHIPPED! US only, sadly. Enter for your chance here.
